Final Decision - NOT GUILTY

CASE BACKGROUND:

Charges were pressed against Marrum (Marrum graecia) by Schyzo (Wyerd) under the belief that Marrum was illegitimately serving in his office and was guilty of abuse of power in the process. A Speaker of the Chamber election had been announced within the Chamber of Representatives under the false pretense that The Speaker Act had fully passed with the Chamber majority it had achieved, despite the fact that it had not undergone the required public vote needed for an amendment. Marrum went unopposed and thus had supposedly ascended to the office of Speaker of the Chamber. Marrum fulfilling his supposed duties in this illegitimate position was observed as an Abuse of Power by the Minister of Justice and thus charges were pressed in accordance.

FULL VERDICT:

After deliberation amongst the Court of Magistrates, the Court has come to the majority decision that the Defendant, Marrum graecia, is NOT GUILTY of "Abuse of Power" as pressed against him by the Plaintiff, in accordance with The President of the Senate Act (L.R.27). According to clause i, subclause i, part ii of the President of the Senate Act ("The President of the Chamber [is] responsible to... Propose any and all bills in the absence of the Supreme Chancellor;") it is the job of the President of the Chamber to propose legislation in the absence of the Supreme Chancellor. In this case, Marrum was only doing his duty as elected President of the Chamber and proposing queued legislation in the absence of the Supreme Chancellor.

The Court of Magistrates considered the argument that-- misguided in the belief that The Speaker Act (L.R.56) had fully passed-- the government had illegitimately placed Marrum in the office of Speaker of the Chamber. However, the Court has come to the conclusion that Marrum had officially ascended to the position of President of the Chamber, as opposed to Speaker, and had only been fulfilling his duties within the position. Under Chamber procedure, nobody contested Marrum for the position of Speaker of the Chamber, or President, and he had, under clause ii, subclause v of the President of the Senate Act ("That if there is only one candidate for the position of President of the Senate, that whoever that candidate was will instantly receive the position without a vote;"), become the President of the Chamber.

Under this interpretation, any actions taken by Marrum that were within the jurisdiction of the President of the Chamber were completely legal and, in accordance with current law, Marrum is President of the Chamber.


In conclusion, the Court of Magistrates has come to the interpretation that Marrum Graecia is NOT GUILTY of all charges in accordance with The President of the Senate Act.
